History & Activity

Located just a short distance away from scenic Pennsylvania, the Locati Auction house is a family owned and operated auctioneering business offering a variety of antiques and collectables. Although the auction house has only been in the market since 2013, they have conducted 22 timed auctions and have plans for more in the near future. Monthly timed auctions are able to be previewed in advance of the bidding schedule, and are open for a period of 14 days.

Locati enables online bidding through Invaluable.com to both US and international buyers and sells many items with historical significance as well as intrinsic value. One bidder recently purchased an antique unsigned clock with an impressive history. Allegedly, the clock dated back to the Civil War era and may even have been an example of the work of the famous clock makers Seneca and Isaiah Lukens. Although a smaller and newer auction company, Locati offers numerous pieces with similar historical importance.
